Florida Politics reports:
During an event in Iowa, Ron DeSantis reiterated his opposition to legalized cannabis Saturday. The Governor worries that young children would be able to access the herb, and that it possibly could be adulterated with fentanyl. “Yeah, I would not legalize,” DeSantis said. “I think what’s happened is this stuff is very potent now.
“I think it’s a real, real problem and I think it’s a lot different than stuff that people were using 30 or 40 years ago.
